Chudleigh Grammar School: At the meeting of the Devon Education Committee yesterday, the question of the future of Chudleigh Pynsent’s Grammar School was discussed. The Chairman pointed out that since the death of the late Head Master, the Assistant Master, Mr. McKie, had been in charge. He had been there 31 years, and the Board of Education had expressed the opinion that owing to that fact, Mr. McKie should be given some consideration when the Newton Abbot Secondary School was opened. It was therefore suggest that he should be allowed to continue to conduct the Chudleigh School until the Newton Abbot Secondary School was ready, and that then, in regard to the property, he should be allowed to purchase a valuation instead of the school being put up for auction. Lord Clifford added that the valuation was somewhere about £400 and if Mr. McKie purchased he would conduct it as a private school. The Committee approved these proposals, it being understood that Mr. McKie would be satisfied with the suggested form of compensation.
